This must be some kind of record: Ancient Rivers, a Middle Eastern spot from Andy Shallal, has closed after about three months. They opened in September in the Mulebone/Eatonville space at 14th and V and I heard nothing about them since then.

I stopped by once soon after it switched concepts, not even knowing it had changed from Mulebone, because they used to do a sort of coworking space: you could sit in the dining area and have coffee or lunch and work with your laptop. It was pretty clever.

The food was pretty tasty, but they didn’t seem to have their stuff together: it didn’t seem like it was actually open, but it was, and throughout the day other folks came in with laptops and asked the same question: “uhh... are you open?”

That seems to have extended to the restaurant, as I never heard about it and kind of forgot it existed.

Kind of odd too, as it’s run by Andy Shallal of Busboys and Poets and the previous tenants of this space, Eatonville and Mulebone. You’d think he’d know what he’s doing. We’ll see if something else can go in and succeed — otherwise it’ll be the fourth place to close in this space.

If you put up a live tree for the holidays, the city has some recycling options for you. Here's the info from the city's Department of Public Works: you can drop off your tree at two of the city's trash transfer stations, and they'll also be picking them up on your regularly scheduled recycling days. Make sure to take off all ornaments and tinsel and don't bag the trees.

If you aren't served by the city's pickup (such as you're in a condo or apartment building) you'll need to either drop them off or contact your building management or the trash company.

The city also gives our free compost at the Fort Totten station: read on.

(WASHINGTON, DC) With the holiday season coming to a close over the next several weeks, thousands of DC residents will be looking for an environmentally friendly way to dispose of their holiday trees and greenery. The DC Department of Public Works (DPW) is pleased to provide District residents with two easy options for having their cut holiday trees and greenery recycled (no artificial trees).

“The District is committed to waste reduction year-round, including the holiday season,” said DPW Director Christopher Shorter. “These two options ensure residents can dispose of their holiday trees and greenery in an environmentally friendly and convenient way.”

The first option is for residents to bring their trees and greenery, free of charge, to either of the District’s transfer stations. The Fort Totten Transfer Station is located at 4900 John F. McCormack Drive, NE, and the Benning Road Transfer Station is located at 3200 Benning Road, NE.

The second option, also free of charge, is for residents to put their trees and greenery out where their trash and recycling is collected between January 13 and February 2. These items will be collected on residents’ regularly scheduled recycling days during this period. This collection service is only available to residents who are serviced by DPW. DPW collects trash and recyclables from single-family homes and apartment/condo buildings with three or fewer living units.

Regardless of which option residents choose, all ornaments and lights should be removed from the tree. Residents are also asked not to bag their trees or greenery.

In fiscal year 2017, 327.25 tons of holiday trees were collected and composted by DPW in the District. As a reminder, DPW provides DC residents with up to five 32-gallon bags (bring your own bags) of free compost weekdays, 1 pm to 5 pm, and Saturdays 8 am to 3 pm, at the Fort Totten Transfer Station.

DPW provides essential city services in two distinct program areas: environmental services/solid waste management and parking enforcement. Both contribute to making District streets and public spaces clean, safe, attractive and accessible for all residents, businesses, commuters and visitors.

The other day I was running errands and noticed a new deli called Capo at 715 Florida Ave NW. I was hungry so I stopped in, and I'm glad I did -- it's awesome. They have lots of traditional Italian sandwiches plus pre-made things like ziti and lasagna, various kinds of pasta salad, as well as sweets like canolis and containers of cookie butter and ambrosia, plus cheese, bread and meat for sale.

I got the sandwich called the Capo with sopressata, mortadella and provolone -- big piles of the meat, which was delicious, plus the usual lettuce, tomato, onion and oil. The "small" is $8.95, but it was massive, while the large is $13. It must be enormous. The bread is good too, hard and crunchy (in a good way) with sesame seeds. I bought a loaf and took it home too.

Here's the full menu, and there are daily specials, which I think the Capo was.

Whoa, dude. Something called The History of Cannabis Museum (get it, THC Museum) is coming to 3626 Georgia Avenue NW, near DC Reynolds and Manny and Olga's. I walked by the other day, it seems to be under construction but their website has opening hours and says there's a $10 admission. A reader wrote a few days ago saying he saw signs for the museum up on street posts.

The museum's site says it's from Grow Club DC, which is an Adams Morgan shop for marijuana growing supplies. You join the Grow Club for $1500 and someone will come install equipment for you to grow your own doobies. DC law says it's legal to have six plants, to possess 2 ounces and to give 1 ounce to someone else, assuming everybody is over 21. You can't sell it legally or smoke it in public. However, under federal law it's still illegal.

The museum has a brief video, presumably of its former location, which has pictures of historical figures and ancient cultures that grew weed or hemp, plus pictures of celebrities smoking -- folks like Bob Marley, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Seth Rogen, plus what looks like a sales counter for pipes and such.

The website is pretty slim on details of what's going to be in this museum. There's a "History" tab but it's about the history of marijuana rather than of the museum. I'll look for more info about it. Sounds pretty wild. Here's another shot of the interior.

Bar Roubaix, the bar in the old Acre 121 space from the folks behind Marvin, the Gibson, American Ice Company and many more, is opening this Friday, Dec. 8, with a soft opening for neighborhood folks today, Dec. 7.A few friends got a preview last week and said they've extended the bar, and the spot is focused on a big pool table. There are also some cycling games where you ride a stationary bike against another person. They have a pan-European food menu and lots of Belgian beers.Here's more from the Bar Roubaix folks, plus some photos and their menu:

Ian and Eric Hilton are set to open their latest production, Bar Roubaix, a cycling - centric neighborhood bar and restaurant on December 8 in Columbia Heights. Located on 1400 Irving Street, N.W. Bar Roubaix will feature an eclectic menu of craft beers, European street food and pastries.

The concept of Bar Roubaix is inspired by the growing and vibrant cycling culture in the DMV. Named after the iconic city of Roubaix, terminus to one of the world's oldest and most iconic races of professional road cycling.

The menu focuses on the cuisine you would encounter on the streets while cycling across Europe. It’s helmed by chef Rafael Nunez formerly of Busboy and Poets, and Eatonville. “When you’re riding through the European cities these are the food you’ll eat. From arancini of Italy, zapiekanki in Poland, to doner kabobs you see all across the continent, we want to give our guests a culinary tour of the delicious street eats of Europe.” says Arturo Zaloga, one of the designers and operator of Bar Roubaix. “ The beer program will be an eclectic rotation of cyclist favorites, like Natty Bo for the bike messengers and a fine selection of Belgians for the more discerning customer. There will be something for everyone.”

The interior design and atheistic is inspir ed by Czech Art Nouveau painter and decorative artist, Alphone Mucha, with a mural designed and painted by local artists Justin Poppe and Joseph Orzal. It also features a pool table and a one - of - its - kind cycling arcade simulation game powered by OpenSprints software, where guests can race each other.

BAR

“We want to create a space where cycling enthusiasts can come relax over good beers and enjoy authentic street foods that will transport them to the streets that host the Tour, the Giro, or the Vue lta,” adds Zaloga.

Bar Roubaix will have plenty of parking racks and will feature a fixing station where cyclists can perform maintenance or adjustments on their ride.

A beer garden style patio will be open to guests throughout the year. The bar will ope n daily at 5 p.m. with the kitchen closing at 12 a.m., Monday through Sunday. The bar will remain open until 1 a.m. on Thursday and through 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.

For more information, please follow the team on social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter @RoubaixDC

This is neat: there's a new cider spot coming to Georgia and Shepherd, in the vacant storefront in the Fahrenheit building (that black and red residential building.) It's called Capitol Cider House and they're aiming to open sometime in 2018.

There's an interview with the owner here at the Cider Culture blog. The spot looks very modern, and they'll have food from Union Kitchen, a food incubator, and ciders from around the region.

Here's more from ANC commissioner Zach Teutsch

The Capitol Cider House is a new, locally-owned business that will be located in the current vacant storefront of the Fahrenheit Apartment building. The new bar and restaurant will offer 12 taps showcasing ciders produced specifically within 200 miles of the Capitol Building as well as locally-sourced food. Some of the ciders available at Capitol Cider House will be produced on site by the owner, Jared Fackrell, and his team.

Settlement agreements, once executed, serve as contracts between an Alcohol and Beverage Control (ABC) licensee and the ANC. The agreement becomes a part of the business’ ABC license, and, therefore, contains additional enforceable requirements above and beyond what is typically covered under an ABC license when granted by the District’s Alcohol and Beverage Regulation Administration (ABRA). The ANC recently established a policy that it would enter into a Settlement Agreement with any new business seeking an ABC license in the neighborhood.

The settlement agreement includes verbiage about when the spot will be open:

2. Nature of the Business. The Applicant will manage and operate a CT license at the listed address. The license shall have indoor seating of not more than 46, with a Total Occupancy Load of 78 and a sidewalk cafe with 13 seats.

UPDATE: They are opening to the public on Friday, December 8, not this Friday as I originally wrote.

Whoa, this was fast! A few months ago I wrote that Acre 121 would be replaced by a cycling-themed bar from the Hilton Brothers, who perform as Thievery Corporation and have opened a bunch of bars and restaurants in the city: 18th Street Lounge, the Gibson, American Ice Company, Ten Tigers, the Brixton, Satellite Room and more.

And now Barred in DC reports they're opening Friday, Dec. 8 as Bar Roubaix! I thought something was up, as Twitter user MrTinDC said that the Washington Area Bicycle Association was having a party there on the 13th. He also spotted a variety of bike frames out front, maybe they're building something out of town (pictured above.)

Thanks to some internet sleuthing, Barred in DC found that the food may include döner kebab, spanakopita (phyllo stuffed with feta and spinach), German potato pancakes and zapiekanki, which is a French baguette with mushrooms and cheese.

They found that the chef is Rafael Nunez, formerly of Eatonville at 14th and Florida, and the GM is Arturo Zaloga, who managed the bar at Mezcalero at 14th and Spring and also worked at Marvin, El Rey and the Brixton, all Hilton-owned places.

A few months ago I talked to someone affiliated with the owners of the building, who said they plan to rejigger the interior to make it a bit more bar-friendly, as it was sort of an awkward space. They also plan to make the patio more open and patio-like, it was under a big tent before. As you can see above, they've removed that tent.
This all sounds awesome to me. Acre 121, if you recall, was southern coastal cuisine with a pretty good brunch, and before that the space was CommonWealth, a pretty tasty British gastropub from Jamie Leeds of Hank's Oyster Bar.

Roubaix is a town in northern France that's the end of the Paris-Roubaix bike race.

This is pretty awesome news: the owners behind Colony Club, the coffee shop and bar at 3118 Georgia, will be opening a pizza restaurant next door. The City Paper has more details, it will be named after their general contractor, Sonny.

The building is a former doctor's office called MARC, I think used for methadone or other drug treatment. It's about twice as wide as Colony Club, and the City Paper says there's room for almost 200 seats. There will also be a big backyard area.

They'll have house-baked breads, sandwiches, salads and what co-owner Max Zuckerman described as "old-school New York-style sides like garlic knots and pepperoni rolls" to the CP. They'll also have beer, wine and cocktails that go well with pizza.

There's a lot of holiday fun coming up, as this Friday is not only First Friday on Georgia Avenue, where lots of local businesses have deals and freebies, it's also the annual Columbia Heights tree lighting at the Civic Plaza -- complete with a holiday happy hour at lots of local businesses.

And you can volunteer to help decorate the tree tonight (Tuesday) or for helping with the tree lighting.

The events are sponsored by District Bridges, who run Columbia Heights/Mt. Pleasant Main Street organization, and also co-manage the Georgia Avenue Main Street with Georgia Avenue Thrive.

Here's more from Jennifer Kuiper of District Bridges:

Dear Neighbors,

I know it isn’t even December and some of us are still digesting turkey BUT if you are already in the holiday mood, here’s your chance to channel some of that good cheer by helping out District Bridges with raising up a GIANT tree and then decorating in preparation for this Friday'sTree Lighting Extravaganza!

The weekly Georgia Avenue neighborhood cleanup is back, and this time there are deals on coffee and pastries from Harrar Coffee Roasters for participants. Read on!

Good morning everyone!

Georgia Avenue Thrive's next cleanup and community get-together will be this Saturday Dec. 2 at 10 am.

We'll meet at the corner of Georgia and Irving, by the Park View sign. Immediately following, volunteers will gather at Harrar Coffee & Roastery for special deals (buy one coffee, get one free, etc.!) and great conversation.

You may remember me posting a few times about Jenkins Capital BBQ, the newish spot that replaced Ruby Tuesday at 14th and Monroe in July. It was hard to find any information about them before they were open, although they now have a nice website.

But lately they haven't been open much, and I wonder if it's permanent. I walked by a few times in the last week or so and it dark and closed, and I recently got a tweet by someone who went by on Saturday and they were also closed -- kind of an odd time to close, Saturday night after a holiday. A Yelp review from Nov. 13 also says they were closed when they went by. I guess they could be closed for the holidays (or a few weeks around them) but I didn't see any sign about that.

They're closed Mondays so I haven't gotten in touch with them today, but will keep trying. I hope they stay open, but they've always been kind of mysterious to me -- it's a huge space but I've never heard anybody talk about it or seen anybody in there.

Well, this isn't something you see every day: Taqueria del Barrio the Mexican spot at 821 Upshur, is offering a Mexican take on turducken, the Thanksgiving food where a turkey is stuffed with a duck that has been stuffed with a chicken. Wow. I guess in Spanish it would be a pavpatollo, or something.

Taqueria del Barrio's version, however, has turkey around a pork loin wrapped around chorizo, which sounds pretty awesome. You can buy it by the pound from now until Nov. 20, plus tamales, another Christmas staple. Might be good for Thanksgiving proper or Friendsgiving. They're also offering it in the restaurant from Nov. 24-26.

They're also doing a drag brunch on Nov. 18, which sounds fun. Read on for the details:

Reservations are encouraged with one seating at 10am and another at 1pm. Guests can order from a fixed $25 menu including the choice of either a brunch entrée or three of Taqueria del Barrio’s signature tacos, as well as a brunch cocktail. Reserve a table by calling 202-723-0200 or visiting www.taqueriadelbarrio.com.

Thanksgiving at Taqueria del Barrio

Spice up your Thanksgiving table this year, and let Taqueria del Barrio do some of the work for you in the process. Chef and owner Anna Bran-Leis is preparing a Mexican turkey roulade (her take on turducken), wrapping turkey around pork loin, which is wrapped around house-made chorizo, resulting in a savory, showstopper Thanksgiving entrée.

The Mexican turkey roulade can be ordered in advance by phone at 202-723-0200. It is priced at $16 per pound (each pound feeds two people), and is offered alongside homemade cheese poblano tamales for $3.99 each. Orders can be placed now through Monday, November 20, and all orders will be available for pickup from the restaurant from noon to close on Wednesday, November 22.

Although Taqueria del Barrio is closed on November 23 for the holiday, guests can also enjoy the Mexican turkey roulade as a special in the dining room Friday, November 24 through Sunday, November 26. The roulade will be $13.99 and comes with a cheese poblano tamale, as well as cranberry and orange salsa.

This is awesome: All Souls Unitarian Church at 15th and Harvard sent me a press release about the Beckner Advancement Fund, which offers $70,000 in grants each year up to $10,000 for a variety of social justice causes:

Safe, affordable housing

Environmental justice

Peace and reconciliation

Immigration

Anti-oppression efforts, including racial and ethnic justice

The deadline for the first part of the application is January 26, and the group needs to either be a 501(c)3 nonprofit or be affiliated with one.

Here's a bit more about the fund and requirements, with a full description on their website (scroll down for the External awards, Internal are for church members.)

About the Beckner Advancement Fund

All Souls Church Unitarian has a long history of working for social justice and fighting against oppression of all kinds. Our proud tradition of public witness here in the nation’s capital dates back to standing against slavery and continues to this day. For almost two centuries, the congregation has worked to make our city, our nation, and our world more just and compassionate.

All Souls members Earl and Meta Beckner endowed the Beckner Advancement Fund in 1973. The Deed of Gift states their desire to “make the Church and surrounding community more cohesive, attractive, and forward-looking; foster human rights and dignity; and enhance the influence of All Souls Church in the Washington metropolitan area.”

Grounded in commitment to social-change philanthropy, the Beckner Advancement Fund distributes about $70,000 each year to support efforts that advance All Souls’s social justice mission. The Beckner Advancement Committee, made up of All Souls members, the senior minister, and coordinated by a program officer, manages the Fund and advises the church’s Board of Trustees, who make the decisions for the Beckner Advancement Fund. Internal grants fund the church’s own social justice activities, and external grants support DC organizations that address urgent and compelling social justice issues from the community. as identified the followingsocial justice priority areas.

The Fund
prioritizes proposals for organizations and projects that:1.demonstrate significant ties to Ward 1 neighborhoods and residents
(where the church is located);2.are facilitated by small, grassroots organizations;3.address root causes of social service needs (rather than providing
direct services);4. actively engage the community they serve in developing program
strategies;5. effectively measure their success (or are building systems to do
so);6. seek support for new initiatives or for project components that
build capacity of existing programs;7.demonstrate willingness to educate and include All Souls members
in their work for social change; and8.have existing relationships with All Souls Church or its members.

The Fund will not consider requests to fund individuals, sectarian programs that promote religious doctrine, or organizations that ask for more than 10% for general operating support.

Mary's Center, the great local nonprofit that serves as a community health center and also offers literacy and social services, is holding a canned food drive to help give families a good Thanksgiving meal. And the Petworth Community Market, every Saturday until Nov. 18 from 9am-1pm, is accepting donations.

Here's more about the canned food drive and Mary's Center. The market is at the triangle where 9th and Upshur meet.

The Virginia elections are tomorrow, which means elections for governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and state legislature: and you can help.

The elections affect us in DC for a few reasons: for one, Congress has the power to stop DC from spending its own money and enforcing its own laws, and they've used that power before to block the city from spending money on things voters here support: medical marijuana, decriminalized marijuana, women's health, LGBT issues, abortion services, and many other things DC taxpayers have voted for and want.

The local elections also affect how the districts get drawn in the state going forward: right now, there are 4 Democrats and 7 Republicans in the Congress from Virginia, despite the total vote being split nearly 50-50. Thanks to gerrymandering, in the state house there are 34 Democrats and 66 Republicans, despite the state going for both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

But you can help! There are opportunities to make phone calls to Virginia voters either from your own home or at a local restaurant, as well as volunteer opportunities to visit the state to encourage folks to vote.

Here's more info from DC for Progress. Read on for how you can get active!
